1981 GS1100E headlight pod

[dantodd]

Hello all,

I just pulled the vetter off my gs110ex and my bike didn't come with the original headlight bucket, bodywork. Because of the short ears i dont think I can simply mout an aftermarket bucket or a round one easily.

Has anyone put an aftermarket headlight on one of these? Any advice or suggestions on what will work is most welcome. I'd be happy with a decent round light option.

This is probably most of what you need.

I did so in my 1980 GS 1100e. It may only work with mini controls, because of the space left to accommodate speedo and tacho cables without bending them too much. Also there's about a millimeter of space between the bucket and bottom of the ignition, but it all worked out. This is the headlight; http://www.dimecitycycles.com/black-and-chrome-7-inch-metric-style-headlight-assembly.html
And on my bike..
